Cold Wave Container is specialized
SOC (Shipper Owned Container) which
contains liquefied Carbon Dioxide, (i.e.
Dry Ice) to deeply freeze cargo. Due to
the venting of the Carbon Dioxide
during transit, these containers could
potentially be dangerous if stowed
below deck. NYK will prohibit these
containers unless carried under an NYK
bill of loading and aboard a NYK
vessel. These containers will be
stowed on deck to ensure safety.
No White Asbesto as well as
Blue/Brown Asbesto are to be booked,
shipped on any NYK operated vessels.
Remarks:
A. NYK will accept following DG in working reefers:
1. IMO2.2 and 2.3 with no subsidiary flammable risk.
2. IMO 3 with flash point 23 degree or more
3. IMO 4 for quality purpose only, except self-reactive related substances and UN 2956,

4. IMO 5.1
5. IMO 6.1/8 with no flash point below 23 degree Celsius
6. IMO 9 which does not emit flammable vapor.
7. IMO 3 with flash point below 23 degrees and DGs with flash point below 23 degrees can be
acceptable in only special explosion proof reefers.
8. IMO temperatured controlled DG allowed only in dual reefer engine container, if following

OOCL'S GAS LIGHTERS/REFILLS CARGO ACCEPTANCE POLICY
BACKGROUND
An increasing number of gas lighters/refills cargoes have been found to contain dangerous
and explosive amount of gas concentration within the container. Causes of such dangerous
amount could be attributed to damaged packagings, unsafe packaging used, or the improper
packing of boxes into the containers. High gas concentration within containers does not only

endanger the lives of those who work at the terminal or on vessels, but these cargoes will be
stopped by Port Authorities for further transport. In light of such possible danger associated
with gas lighters/refills cargo, an inspection program must be in place to ensure that only those
cargoes that are safe for transport will be loaded onto vessels.
THE POLICY
With immediate effect, vanning surveys and gas leak inspections must be conducted on all
Gas Lighters/Refills (Class 2.1 UN 1057) export shipments from Far East to any European
destinations.
Satisfactory reports must be submitted to OOCL DG Desk
(apoocldg@oocl.com) for final approval before cargo can be accepted. This policy applies to
OOCL's own shipments for loading onto GA- and OOCL-operated vessels, and those from GA
Partners for loading onto OOCL-operated vessels.
THE VANNING SURVEY
The vanning survey must be performed by anyone of GA appointed 3rd party cargo surveyor.
The survey report is to be submitted to OOCL DG Desk for acceptance consideration. If
possible, the report should include copies of the photos taken during the survey, but can be
waived if under time constraint. The cost of the vanning survey is on COL's account.
THE GAS LEAK INSPECTION
After container gate-in at the terminal and immediately before loading onto OOCL-operated
vessel, COL must arrange for a gas-leak inspection to be conducted by anyone of GA
appointed 3rd party cargo surveyors. For transshipment cargoes for loading onto
OOCL-operated vessels, gas leak inspections conducted at the terminal immediately before
loading onto the first GA- or OOCL-operated vessel, along with the vanning survey report, can
be accepted for final acceptance consideration. Gas leak surveys performed elsewhere and
prior to loading onto barges/feeders will not be recognized and accepted.
Only those containers with 0% gas leak detected will be considered for acceptance and
loading. Containers with any percentage of gas leak detected will be immediately rejected for
transport, with no re-working of the container allowed at or outside the terminal. COL is to
submit the inspection report to OOCL's DG Desk for final approval. The cost of the inspection
is on COL (Container Operating Line)'s account.
*OOCL reserves the right to conduct an additional gas leak inspection at the transshipment
port prior to loading onto OOCL-operated vessels. The cost of the additional gas leak
inspection will be at OOCL account if the cargo passes the inspection, otherwise it will be for
COL's account.
Cold-Wave Containers
These are special constructed insulate containers with 2-3000 KG DRY ICE in them for
carrying refrigerated cargo, although the amount of DRY-ICE would be logically required to

these containers on board OOCL’s vessels.
